Just weeks after Carrie Underwood released her third album, she’s got more big news to celebrate: She and Mike Fisher are engaged!

Fisher, 29, asked Carrie to marry him in front of his family. Underwood and Fisher, who plays forward on the Ottawa Senators hockey team, have been dating for more than a year. Underwood told Ellen Degeneres that she’s “old-fashioned” and wouldn’t move in with anyone until she said ‘I do.’ A wedding date hasn’t been set.

I think Fisher was likely encouraged to pop the question by Mama’s Song on Underwood’s album, in which sings high praises for her man. Here are some of the lyrics:

And only want what’s best for meAnd I think I found the answer to your prayersAnd he is good, so goodHe treats your little girl like a real man shouldHe is good, so goodHe makes promises he keepsNo he’s never gonna leaveSo don’t you worry about meDon’t you worry about me

Mama there’s no way you’ll ever lose meGiving me away is not goodbyeAs you watch me walk down to my futureI hope tears of joy are in your eyes‘Cause he is good, so goodAnd he treats your little girl like a real man shouldHe is good, so goodHe makes promises he keepsNo he’s never gonna leaveSo don’t you worry about meDon’t you worry about meAnd when I watch my baby grow upI’ll only want what’s best for herAnd I hope she’ll find the answer to my prayersAnd that she’ll sayHe is good, so good
